Chapter 42: The Dinner
"It's okay, I've gone to four hours of class time, and I've gone to four hours of rest, and I still have four hours to arrange freely!" Bai Yuluo thought for a while and said, with this opportunity to learn, how could she let it go.
In her previous life, after her grandmother enlightened her, she taught her some family etiquette and rules, and the others were later learned by the Lord, that is, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess with sleeves, and learned a subset of scriptures and history, poems and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the others are the eldest princess who can't teach if she wants to, and there is no such condition!
Murong Zhaoyang smiled and said, "You don't need to eat?" ”
"Well, then go to another hour of meal time, there are still three hours, it's enough, I'll learn the rules and etiquette with Mama Wang first, three hours a day, and when the rules and etiquette are learned, I want to follow the eldest princess to learn housekeeping!"
Looking at Bai Yuluo, whose eyes were shining, Murong Zhaoyang smiled dumbly, but after a while, he thought about it again, although the eldest princess in her previous life taught her some things, but obviously there are still many things that have not been taught, one is that there are no conditions, and the other is inconvenient, Bai Yuluo is a smart and transparent character, and now that he has the opportunity to learn, Bai Yuluo is not afraid of hard work!
"Okay, you can learn whatever you want, I'm a little tired, rest for a while, you don't have to accompany me, go see Mama Wang!" Murong Zhaoyang said softly, and sighed secretly, the Bai family really mistook pearls for fish eyes!
"Good!" Bai Yu got up and came to the beauty couch, helped Murong Zhaoyang to lie down on the bed, smiled at him and said, "You take a rest, I will let people guard the door, you call them if there is something!" ”
Seeing Murong Zhaoyang smile and nod in response, Bai Yuluo left, and took the maidservant to the courtyard where she lived now, sure enough, Mama Wang was here to arrange all the matters of the dinner, Bai Yuluo quietly knelt down not far away, carefully watched Mama Wang's orderly arrangement, and passed down the instructions quickly.
Follow Mama Wang to inspect the hall of the dinner party to see if all kinds of utensils are in line with the rules, Bai Yuluo listened carefully to Mama Wang's explanation, and her heart was a little astringent, the girl of the Dayan family, enlightened at the age of three, began to learn housekeeping with the housewife and the nurturing grandmother at the age of six, but she Bai Yuluo has never had any contact with these in her previous life and this life!
Looking at the hour, Mama Wang said gently to the serious little girl beside her: "It's almost ready, the girl will go back to the yard to change her clothes first, and then go to pick up the eldest princess, and the old slave will invite the prince and His Royal Highness, how can the girl look good?" ”
"Listen to Mama, Mama arranged it very well, thank you Mama today, Yuluo has been taught!" Bai Yuluo smiled gratefully at Mama Wang and said that Mama Wang explained this dinner to her in detail from beginning to end.
What utensils are used, the arrangement of dishes, the arrangement of drinks, and the singing and dancing performances, etc., Mama Wang taught her everything one by one, how could she not be grateful, after all, how to teach is not to teach! can teach so patiently and carefully, presumably Princess Chen has considered that Bai Yuluo doesn't know anything about these things before, and carefully instructed Mama Wang.
Bai Yuluo returned to the courtyard, and the two maids who Liu Fuyao had matched Bai Yuluo before returning to Chang'an were already waiting, with the help of Bai Mama, Bai Yuluo quickly bathed and changed clothes, changed into the clothes prepared by the maid, sat in front of the dresser, closed her eyes and asked the maid to put on makeup and pull her hair.
After all the tidying up, Bai Yuluo and his party came to Murong Huaisleeve's courtyard in a majestic manner, and Murong Huaisleeve had already changed his clothes and makeup and waited, listening to Bai Yuluo's apology, Murong Huaisleeve shook his head with a smile and said: "It's none of your business, you have to arrange a dinner, it's not too late to come over at this hour, in fact, the family shouldn't be so polite, but there are some rules here, I just came today, and it will be fine after tomorrow!" ”
Smiling, Bai Yuluo didn't say anything, just stepped forward and gently helped Murong Huai to get up, and went to the hall where the dinner was held, Murong Zhaoyang and Murong Xin had already arrived, and after saluting each other, they sat down, watching the maids shuttle back and forth in the hall quickly but orderly.
The banquet ended in less than two hours, firstly, because Murong Zhaoyang was injured and should not sit for a long time, and secondly, Murong Huaisleeve was not used to it, and Murong Huaisleeve was not used to it for more than 20 years.
A few people came to the side hall to rest for a while, Murong Huai looked at his nephew and nephew, and then glanced at Bai Yuluo beside his nephew, thought for a while and said: "Ashin, I have known this child Yuluo for three or four years, and now she and Zhaoyang have been given marriage, but she is only taught by the girl of the family, she almost doesn't know anything, what do you and the princess think?" ”
"I won't go to school, what's this, I'm not too old, and now it's too late to learn!" Murong Xin said indifferently that he didn't seem to have anything to do with him except for teaching his son and future daughter-in-law for two hours a day.
Seeing that the eldest princess was choked by her father, Murong Zhaoyang helplessly relieved the siege and said: "Grandmother, I have discussed this matter with my mother, because I am going to get married before the year, let Yuluo learn the rules and etiquette first, the homework for two hours in the morning will be taught by the father himself, and the riding and archery lessons for two hours in the afternoon will be taught by Yuluo, and the rest of the time will be learned the rules and etiquette first!" ”
"After learning the rules and etiquette, the subset of scripture and history, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, flower arrangement and incense and other teachings received by the girls of the family, Yuluo will start to learn, and the mother will pick a mother who is proficient in these in Chang'an, and then she will be sent to another garden!"
Murong Zhaoyang looked at Murong Huaisleeve and smiled and continued: "Grandmother, Yuluo is kind by nature, if she doesn't work strategically, she will hurt others and herself, besides, she is smart and transparent, and she can learn things thoroughly, Grandmother Gu doesn't have to worry, Yuluo is the princess of King Chen's mansion!" ”
"That's fine, what is there to need me, Zhaoyang said, this child can be regarded as I grew up." When Murong Huai heard this, he looked at Bai Yuluo, and smiled softly, with this husband, this child must be a blessed one!
Murong Huaisleeve glanced at his father, and said to Murong Huaisleeve seriously: "Grandmother, I really need my aunt's help with something, Yuluo doesn't know anything about internal affairs, I could have been taught by my mother and concubine herself, but there are many things to do in Chang'an, and my mother is lacking in skills, so please ask my aunt and grandmother to bother!" ”
"Housekeeping, let me teach Yuluo housekeeping, is this appropriate? I wasn't very proficient in housekeeping back then. Murong Huai looked at Murong Zhaoyang with some embarrassment and said that she was not interested in it back then, not to mention that she was favored and a princess back then, and she was really not proficient in internal affairs!
Murong Zhaoyang shook his head and said: "Grandmother, how to get married, how to settle the accounts and housekeepers, artifact identification and the like, Yuluo is still young, and the mother concubine is in her prime, so there is no need for Yuluo to be in a hurry to take on the internal affairs of the Chenwang Mansion, just let her slowly familiarize herself with these first, her schoolwork is too heavy, these should be given to her for entertainment!" ”
"The main thing is to let Yuluo follow her aunt's grandmother and learn from her aunt's grandmother, Yuluo has never returned to Chang'an, and after marrying me, she is bound to return to Chang'an to live in Chenwang's Mansion for a long time, the Chang'an family has been acting for decades, presumably my aunt and grandmother also know that I don't want Yuluo to be put on the lips by someone with a heart, talking back and forth!"
